Orefield Pa.
Jan. 7, 1887
Brother Sam
I got your letter, but Wayne did not want to give it to me. He brought it with him on
Wednesday evening, and I asked him "Do you have a letter for me?" he said "no". Then
the little rascal gave it to me the other day in school, and I could have choked him.
Grand pop is down in the kitchen again. His leg is not very good, but it will get better.
Theodore is at home since December 28, and I don't' know when he is going away again.
You don't have to tell me anything about the whole shooting match, and I have no
concern if I know anything. I wish the 50 days were over so that you would come home,
then we would go driving Harry, Gella, Garris, Rosa.
Let that Blue Mountain Karl alone. He is surely a good boy, but not sharp enough to cut.
We don't want to talk about that Texas Karl. They also have a Harry like you—say you
snot nose. And that other Karl is so much like you. He is also a school teacher, and says
that you have enough pigs in your school just as he does in his.
Now we want to talk about your Rosa a little. I saw her on Sunday. She looks better
again, but her mother said that she was so worn out over Christmas, and I believe her.
My Tommy still isn't home. I wish he were home, it's so lonesome.
Well I don't have to send you any news, you get it anyway. All the cows are eating well,
and the calf is really growing. The horses are all healthy, and the pigs, and chickens, and
cats, and Jack, and the little pussy cat has a sore eye. The other one is alright.
We wished Susy a fat little boy for New Years. We wish you and your Rosa the same.
And I pity George with heart and no pain. This is enough for now.
Yours truly,
Carrie Ann Holder
Papa is complaining in his back again he can hardly move himself today. So they cannot
make any arrangements for the present to come up, we will let you know in time. Frank
Deihl is sick of fever for nearly two weeks already. Cassie Kuhns is sick too. Mrs.
Nathan Sell died this week. Mrs. Dewalt Kuhns died this week, Mrs. Daniel Marcks died
this week. All very near our place, and many not very far off.
Willoughby says he would not fetch you anymore. I will now come to a close by wish
you what I have already said.
From your sister
Carrie A. Kern
